Cenários contemporâneos no âmbito da governança global
Este livro celebra o encontro de reflexões sobre o papel do Estado e das Instituições diante dos desafios contemporâneos, visando apresentar perspectivas acerca do futuro do Multilateralismo. Nesta direção, de que maneira a atuação do Estado e das Instituições, bem como as diretrizes da Governança Global, poderiam contribuir para a articulação de políticas públicas em meio à crise contemporânea? Como conduzir, nesse cenário, mecanismos factíveis que sejam condizentes com a plataforma da gestão ambiental e da promoção da sustentabilidade? Estes são alguns dos pontos que especialistas sobre o tema procuram explorar na presente obra.

Precarização do Trabalho no Brasil
O livro analisa as transformações que o trabalho tem sofrido com o avanço da globalização e da tecnologia, provocando o sucateamento das relações e das condições de trabalho, a limitação de direitos e garantias dos trabalhadores, além da ampliação dos riscos a que são expostos. Nesse âmbito, há grandes obstáculos para a concretização do bem-estar dos trabalhadores. Em razão de pressões econômicas e de mercado, um deles é a tendência de empresas buscarem redução de custos e elevação de lucros, o que ocasiona a reestruturação do processo de produção e a precarização do trabalho. Outro obstáculo é a discrepância entre as normas trabalhistas baseadas na noç...
Why Suyá Sing
"Like many other South American Indian communities, the Suya Indians of Mato Grosso, Brazil, devote a great deal of time and energy to making music, especially singing. In paperback for the first time, Anthony Seeger's Why Suya Sing considers the reasons for the importance of music for the Suya - and by extension for other groups - through an examination of myth telling, speech making, and singing in an initiation ceremony." "This new paperback edition features a CD offering examples of the myth telling, speeches, and singing discussed, as well as a new afterword that describes the continuing use of music by the Suya in their recent conflicts with cattle ranchers and soybean farmers." -- Prové de l'editor.
Challenges of a Changing Earth
This volume is based on plenary presentations from Challenges of a Changing Earth, a Global Change Open Science Conference held in Amsterdam, The Neth- lands, in July 2001. The meeting brought together about 1400 scientists from 105 co- tries around the world to describe, discuss and debate the latest scientific - derstanding of natural and human-driven changes to our planet. It examined the effects of these changes on our societies and our lives, and explored what the future might hold. The presentations drew upon global change science from an exceptionally wide range of disciplines and approaches. Issues of societal importance – the food system, air quality, the carbon cycle, and water r...
Reimagining the State
This book examines what value, if any, the state has for the pursuit of progressive politics; and how it might need to be reimagined and remade to deliver transformative change. Is it possible to reimagine the state in ways that open up projects of political transformation? This interdisciplinary collection provides alternative perspectives to the ‘antistatism’ of much critical writing and contemporary political movement activism. Contributors explore ways of reimagining the state that attend critically to the capitalist, neoliberal, gendered and racist conditions of contemporary polities, yet seek to hold onto the state in the process. Drawing on postcolonial, poststructuralist, feminis...
Becoming Black Political Subjects
After decades of denying racism and underplaying cultural diversity, Latin American states began adopting transformative ethno-racial legislation in the late 1980s. In addition to symbolic recognition of indigenous peoples and black populations, governments in the region created a more pluralistic model of citizenship and made significant reforms in the areas of land, health, education, and development policy. Becoming Black Political Subjects explores this shift from color blindness to ethno-racial legislation in two of the most important cases in the region: Colombia and Brazil. Drawing on archival and ethnographic research, Tianna Paschel shows how, over a short period, black movements an...
Beyond Capital
"Meszaros defines capital system as embracing private ownership, and Soviet type postcapitalism; both share the same hierarcical structure, the same destructive tendencies and the same exploitation of the labour force. Capitalism may appear to be triumphant world-wide but Beyond Capital is a devastating exposure of a system which can only renew itself at the cost of increasing its problems and can only delay but not avoid its eventual collapse. The theoretical scope and intellectual rigour of Beyond Capital is matched by its practical importance; Beyond Capital is a major contribution to the development of socialist strategies in these times of despondency and crisis of the historical left." -- Back Cover
Slave Emancipation and Transformations in Brazilian Political Citizenship
Celso Thomas Castilho offers original perspectives on the political upheaval surrounding the process of slave emancipation in postcolonial Brazil. He shows how the abolition debates in Pernambuco transformed the practices of political citizenship and marked the first instance of a mass national political mobilization. In addition, he presents new findings on the scope and scale of the opposing abolitionist and sugar planters' mobilizations in the Brazilian northeast. The book highlights the extensive interactions between enslaved and free people in the construction of abolitionism, and reveals how Brazil's first social movement reinvented discourses about race and nation, leading to the pass...
